**2 Cups of the frozen tri-berry mix from Costco - option that adds a little flavor

I run the oranges and frozen cranberries through my Kitchenaid grinder on coarse -- my Cuisinart would probably chop as well. Mix cranberries, oranges, nuts, and sugar. Add the optional berries if you desire. Set aside. Boil water and add 4 cups to Jell-O. Stir in fruit mixture. Add whatever part of the leftover cup of water the bowl will hold and stir slightly. Chill overnight. If desired, top with whipped cream, sliced almonds and a sprinkle of fresh nutmeg.

Why They're Here

One day it occurred to me that creating a blog with many of the old and some of the new family recipes I've prepared over nearly 60 years would be a way to preserve them for my daughters and grandchildren.

On Sept. 19, 2008 "Diane's Family Recipes" was born. I hope you enjoy the site. Thanks for visiting.

PS: LOW-CARB MAKEOVER

In May 2010, my family became low-carbers. I'm in the process of converting my old family recipes, so some that you find on this site will still be carb-loaded. (I'll keep both recipes online.) The most recent are the low-carb-friendly versions. Thanks for your patience while I tweak as many as I can. Diane
